G4 Mirror Help!

hello!
I have been searching for help to get my machine to work. i found a link that is similar with my problem but it is not working right because it won't start up.
I shut it dow for a day due to go over to my in laws for christmas and came back tonight to turn it on... nothing is working... unplugged the cables then waited for a few minutes or so then tried to turn it on... nothing worked, even i can see the power button lit up when pressing it. ( it has been like that for a long time. it is like trying to start the car to get the engine going, understand what i am saying?)
anyway, i am fed up with this and may get a new machine to replace this one since it had its mother board replaced which was 2 years ago. man, i love that mac and want to keep it running which it never gave me problems at all... any ideas to help me out with this?
the problem is similar to this link that i am using to see if it is working or not. not working that great at all..

thanks for your help!
merry christmas to you all!!!

    Look for the ARD Client. I suppose there are other ways to accomplish the same thing but ARD will do what you are experiencing.

    Also having more than 3 mirrors helps you too. I tend to keep all US mirrors and also a few Canadian ones. Just rank them according to speed using the rankmirrors and you should be good.
    I have found its always best to have a university (.edu) mirror as your preferred one, since they normally don't close down on you. Also the univ linux admins probably are enthusiastic and have too much time on their hands to keep the mirrors updated frequently. Not to say that other commercial company mirrors aren't.
    Also most times I find that each time I run rankmirrors, I always find different results.
    Thanks for the tips,

  • InDesign (and Acrobat) poor performance after virus - ideas?

    Hi everyone,
    we have a problem with our system (spec listed below); I've also posted in the Acrobat forum since it is affected as well.
    System
    Dell Precision T7400
    CPU(s): dual quad core Xeons
    RAM: originally 2GB, upgraded to 4GB 1 day ago
    OS: XP 32-bit
    Adobe Software: Originally CS3 Suite, now CS5 Suite
                             Acrobat 9 Pro
    Problem
    Acrobat: 1. stutters slowly when scrolling, almost crashes
                 2. Takes 4X longer than before to "Reduce file size" for PDFs
    InDesign: stutters slowly when working with text and tables, almost crashes
    Cause
    Virus infultrated system about 1 month ago.
    Attempts
    1. Re-imaged disc and installed software based mirroring software with 2 extra backup drives: system still lags
    2. Re-formatted, reinstalled: system still lags
    3. Turned off mirroring: helped a little
    4. Ran various memory, motherboard tests: nothing found
    5. varified all BIOS and firmware up to date
    6. Uninstalled mirroring software, installed hardware based mirroring software, reformatted, reinstalled: system still lags
    7. Tried working with files directly from C:/ with no mirroring: system still lags
    8. Installed fresh 4GB memory: system still lags
    9. Have tried all methods of helping InDesigns performance but no luck.
    Thoughts
    Comparing this system to my old laptop (Centrino Dual Core), the laptop runs about 4X faster since the virus. Before the virus, this system was a dream to work with, super fast speed, never lagged.
    I keep thinking that the virus must have damaged somthing on the motherboard, but error messages or motherboard beep codes.
    Any other suggestions (short of shotting this system) would be greatly appreciated.

    You didn't actually re-flash your BIOS, did you? Yes
    If it was fast before the infection, and slow after the reformat, then this is pretty much the only place that anything could be different. I'd be more inclined to test hardware than continue chasing software, in your shoes.
    Ran various RAM tests, and the BIOS shows nothing out of the ordinary.
    But it's certainly nothing to do with the software, unless the new install was botched for reasons having nothing to do with the virus, or that the virus is actually hiding in one of the spots on the motherboard that can be written to, like the BIOS.
    Clear one thing up for us - you say
    Adobe Software: Originally CS3 Suite, now CS5 Suite
    Does that mean "it ran like a dream with CS3, but now that I have CS5 it's running slow?" Because, if so, you're chasing a red herring - CS5 consumes a lot more in terms of computing resources than does CS3. You should be looking at how to tame CS5's resource consumption, and there are plenty of threads about that.
    After the reformat, CS3 Indesign was a dog as well as Acrobat 9 Pro. Upgraded to new CS5 Suite (all but Acrobat 9 Pro). CS3 & 5 Indesign still a dog as well as Acrobat 9 Pro
    Lastly, I haven't seen malware hiding in flash ROM on the motherboard more than once in the last decade. It wouldn't generate any error messages or beep codes, either.
    Same here, have not witnessed malware/viri infultrating the BIOS since back in 99'. Never the less, it's the only idea I can come up with. I have yet to locate any software for testing the NVIDIA NVS 290 video card. This is the strangest issue I have seen ever.

    Are you sure it only happens with Acrobat and ID, it could be a faltering hard drive
    As far as I can tell. Photolop and Illustrator work fine, haven't had time to try the rest of the CS5 Suite apps.
    I've ran tests on the C drive (10k rpm) and the added 1TB drives. Same results for all; lag lag lag.

  • Please help: I want to mirror my MacBook pro with my HDTV.  I realize I need to switch on my Mirroring Icon BUT I cannot find the icon on my menu bar or in the Display section of my System preferences.  Is it possible to get the Icon on my screen somehow?

    I want to mirror my MacBook Pro's screen to my HDTV.  I had it at one time by clicking the Mirror Icon on my upper menu bar but I do not have it any more?
    What am I missing?  In the System Perferences the display menu seems incomplete.  There is no where in there to set my MacBook Pro to mirroring.
    Can someone please help me?
    I would apprecate any help I get.
    Thanks

    The mirroring selection is in the "Arrangement" tab and only shows up on the MacBook Pro LCD, not the external display.

  • I am using iPad 3 and I try to use 30-pin Digital AV adaptor for mirroring on my Samsung HD TV.  Unfortunately it is not a full screen projection.  Anyone can help?

    I am using iPad 3 and I try to use 30-pin Digital AV adaptor for mirroring on my Samsung HD TV.  Unfortunately it is not a full screen projection.  Anyone can help?

    The iPad Screen is almost square, HD TVs are rectangular so will never be full screen.  When watching movies, the movies native aspect ratio will be used rather than the iPads screen aspect ratio so will look full screen if the movie is full screen, but most likely will be seen in wide screen letter box format. with black bars across the top and bottom as that what most movies from iTunes are in, format wise

  • HP Photosmart Premium c309g-m does not have a mirror image print option-help please

  • Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900  60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

    Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900  60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

    I have the same mini display port adapter and Belkin DVI-HDMI cable (but a Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV) so just set this up on it to see if I could duplicate your problem, unfortunately for you (but good for me) I can't.
    I connected the adapter+HDMI cable before switching the HDTV on and then powered up the MBP. It (the HDTV) came up with my background right away (it's set at Mirror not extended Desktop) and when I run System Preferences/Displays get the following. Sorry but all I can confirm is that adapter+cable combination should work ...
    Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys?

  • I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

    I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

    VGA is an analog signal HDMI is digital. A simple cable would not work you would need something that converts the analog signal to digital.
    A search of VGA to HDMI turned up a few possibilities but nothing specific. In any case the picture on the TV will not be very good given the source.
    You should check to see if the TV has a VGA input. Some TV's have a computer connection port and this is usually VGA.

  • Airplay mirroring problem:when i change slide mirroring from off to on ,my new i pad lost wi fi connection and apple tv lost wifi connection:ihave last software for both.Can u help me?thanks

    when i change slide mirroring from off to on ,my new i pad lost wi fi connection and apple tv lost wifi connection:ihave last software for both.Can u help me?thanks.
    when i use i pad with apple tv for see my photo,youtube and movies all ok.

    I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
    Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • Airplay Mirroring FAIL ON NEW IPAD AND EARLY 2O11 MBP HELP! But pass with IPHONE 4 S!!!

    Hi marcmartineau,
    I'm not sure why this is happening, but I think I'm seeing the same thing. Many times when I get an email on the iPad or iPhone with a picture attached, I don't see the picture but instead just a placeholder icon.
    I have found a work around though to at least see the picture. If I forward it and include the attachment, I see the picture in the outgoing email. I can even save the image from the sending email if I really don't want to send it. If i do send it to myself, chances are I will see the picture in the email when I receive it even though it's just a resend of the original.
    weird.

  • HT201335 Mirroring function on Apple TV 3gen not working - help please

    I have a brand new Mac Book Air and recentlypurchased the Apple TV (3rd gen). The mirroring icon worked until I closed the screen on the laptop and then Apple TV stopped working on the tv I was streaming content to. I opened the screen and since then there is no mirroring icon in the upper tool bar. I rebooted my router a few times and still nothing. I can access my itunes content but not the mirror features.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    If you are near an Apple Store you can take it to the genius bar and they will probably swap out the remote for you once they verify it is dead.  If not I would try to take it back to were you got it and replace it as a deffective unit.

  • HT1338 When I try to link my Macbook to my TV, I cannot find the "Arrangement" button that would lead me to "Mirror Display". Please help!

    When I try to link my Macbook to my TV, I cannot find the "Arrangement" button that would lead me to "Mirror Display". Please help!

    The Arrangement tab only appears in System Preferences Displays pane if a second display is recognized by the system (the OS).  So it seems like your MacBook is not seeing the TV as being connected.
    Describe the video connection between MacBook and TV...  What type of video out port does your MacBook model have?  How is it converted to the type of port used on the TV?
